Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
The HolidayInn Brighton Seafront is no extraordinary beauty, but it has one strong advantage: its location. You can find it at the Brighton city beach directly next to the British Airway i360 (the giant asparagus damaging the coastline) and the ruins of the West Pier. It is easy to find and it’s only a tiny walk to the water of the English channel. The hotel is a classic HolidayInn hotel and comes with a good bar and full English breakfast.

I don‘t know how often we have crossed the Alps when I was a child. Every year I‘ve seen the Brennero on our way to Alto Adige, Italy – and many other families did so, too. We always drove the complete way from northern Germany – but if you want to split the long way in two the Gasthof Zur Post at Kiefersfelden, Germany is a good option.

The Ramada hotel at Podgorica, Montenegro is an absolute alien. A modern, futuristic building between rather unrenovated Soviet style residential buildings. It is the opposite of living like a local in this region of the capital city. I should have avoided this hotel therefore, but I loved it instead for different reasons: I arrived late in the evening at the bus station of Podgorica close to the railway station – from there it was an easy walk within eight minutes to the hotel.

The hotel Porto In is a good hotel in Kotor, Montenegro. It is located between the old town of the city and the long-distance bus station (which is only four minutes on foot away). The rooms are rather large and every room seems to have a balcony or a terrace. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t see the bay of Kotor from my room, but that didn’t matter much – you can reach the harbour and the old town within three minutes.

If you’re travelling by long-distance bus to or from Tirana, Albania and without a too tight budget – then the hotel Colosseo might be a good option. It is a nice four star hotel at one of the streets leading to the city center and the Skanderbeg square. If you’re walking on foot to the bus station for busses going to the north (behind ‘Pallati Sportit Asllan Rusi‘) you’ll need about seven minutes. To the city center it is less than 15 minutes on foot.

The Flowers Hotel at Münster in Westfalen, Germany is an unconventional but nice hotel near the main railway station of the city. It is on the rear side of the station where the Wolbecker Straße meets the Bremer Platz. The hotel and the rooms have artificial turf on the floor and many colorful lights. Within the rooms you’ll find a kitchen and fridge which would be normal for a boarding house.

The Motel One Hamburg Airport is a classic Motel One hotel with its unique style. It is located close to the airport of Hamburg, Germany and is therefore probably most often used by travellers. We chose this hotel because it was one of the closest to the Sporthalle Hamburg where you can watch sports and concerts.
The Sant’Elmo Beach Hotel is a beautiful hotel in the southeast of Sardegna that our travel agency recommended. It is located at Castiadas, Italy and consists of a main building and many small houses arranged in rows behind it. It is not directly at the shore but it isn’t far away and there is a large green meadow in front of the hotel. Continue reading “Sant’Elmo Beach Hotel”
The Holiday Inn hotel near Regent’s Park is a good four-star hotel in London, United Kingdom. It seems to be more oriented towards tourists but is also a good choice for business trips. It’s only a three minute walk to the Regent’s Place business center, the underground station Great Portland Station is just around the corner and a supermarket is on the opposite side of the street.

The relexa hotel at Berlin, Germany was obviously once called Stuttgarter Hof but they changed the name. It is located in a street with some other low and medium price hotels not far away from Mitte and Checkpoint Charlie. Continue reading “Not cool but good”
